You have to love this kind of honesty......

With all the draft day trade rumors leaving me feeling a bit unfulfilled.....thank God for guys like Glen Sather to bring my spirits back up. Here is a quote from the NY POST with respect to Nik Antropov's agent asking for a LT deal @ $5m/yr, a significant bounce from the $2.05m he made last year.

"Based on the first volley from [agent] Mark Gandler, there is a slim chance [of Antropov returning]," the general manager said following the fifth round of the Entry Draft. "There's a snowball's chance in hell that's going to happen. It's ridiculous. I hate to criticize an agent, but let's have a little bit of reality here."

Bouwmeester a good move for Calgary?

Any thoughts on Calgary's move to get smooth skating Jay?

He is going to want Phaneuf $$$ and with Iginla, Jokinen, and Kiprusoff all making above $5.5m /yr, they are going to up against the cap. They had to shed players last season just make the cap, so it's not going to be easy to sign him, risky move for Daryl Sutter

Hi...

Hi Folks,

Just an informal note to start my blog. I hope this can be used as a place to get some positive thoughts, critique, conversations exchanged about the NHL and any other events/stories going on in the hockey world.

Anyone have any thoughts on the NHL draft and how it played out? The Pronger deal?
